    On Friday, the White House presented the composition of “a founding Executive Board”, consisting exclusively of figures loyal to Trump: his Middle East adviser Steve Witkoff, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and former UK prime minister Tony Blair.

    It’s astonishing how often Tony Blair manages to find new ways to be a massive fucking disappointment. It’s like he’s already concluded that he’s going to hell for the whole Iraq thing so he’d may as well lean into it by being a huge cunt while he’s alive.

    I thought it was about the Gaza Strip “peace” plan. Did I miss something here?

    The stupid thing about this is the US already has a disproportionate amount of influence in the UN. Greed is something that can’t ever be satisfied.

      The next 90 days will decide if the EU is a puppet state of the US.

    Every pro Trumper I know also has a deep fear of the UN or some shadowy organisation controlling the world. Every conversation ended up with “Well at least he will take back power from the elites”. Now Trump declares he wants to rule the world, and outlines their exact fears as his plan and they are silent. No comment. Why are people so stupid? And pathetically so. It not even hard to see how ridiculous this guy is, but people are still bowing down to it.

    The words in the picture are wrong. It should be:
    I’m going to build my own UN with
    little children and more little children!

    Same energy as the million dollar email service where the idea was that people knew you’d blown a million dollars to have an email on that domain.

    So a protection racket, in other words.

    Setup by the dollar store godfather wannabe

    Ever since trump got elected, the news has been either bizarre, devastating, hilarious, insane, removed, cringe, maddening…

    Can that heart attack come already? Come on, McDonald’s hamburgers, do your job

      Absolutely fucking terrible protection racket if that’s what it is.

      The US spends 7tn per year on government spending. Even if the entire UN ponied up a billion each, every year, that would be less than 200bn in additional revenue. Not nothing, but barely a fraction of the 5tn in tax revenue the US government takes in every year.

      That’s like the mafia hitting you up for $50 a month.
